About the Opportunity

Ferretti Search is partnering with a growing organization to identify a hands-on Senior Accountant to support a broad range of accounting, financial reporting, and regulatory responsibilities.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced accountant who enjoys variety and wants exposure beyond traditional month-end accounting. In addition to owning key areas of the accounting cycle, this individual will assist with governmental, state, and multi-state regulatory requirements as the organization continues to grow.

Prior experience with these regulatory responsibilities is a plus but not required. The company is open to a bright, resourceful accounting professional who is comfortable researching requirements, learning new processes, and taking ownership.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Broad exposure across the full accounting cycle
• Opportunity to expand your experience into multi-state compliance and regulatory matters
• Hands-on position with meaningful ownership and visibility
• Growing organization with opportunities for continued professional development
• Exposure to both traditional accounting and operational finance
• Opportunity to improve processes and create efficiencies
• Great fit for someone who enjoys variety rather than a narrowly defined accounting role

Key Responsibilities

• Support and execute month-end and year-end close activities
• Prepare and post journal entries
• Perform general ledger and balance sheet account reconciliations
• Support accounts payable and accounts receivable functions
• Prepare customer invoices and assist with billing activities
• Assist with cash application and light collections as needed
• Prepare and analyze financial reports and account activity
• Research and resolve accounting discrepancies
• Maintain accurate supporting documentation and accounting records
• Assist with audit requests and year-end reporting
• Support budgeting, forecasting, and financial analysis as needed

Regulatory & Multi-State Compliance

• Assist with governmental and state regulatory filings and requirements
• Manage and maintain Secretary of State registrations and related filings
• Support multi-state nexus research, registrations, and compliance requirements
• Assist with Department of Labor registrations, reporting, and related matters
• Coordinate registered agent information and requirements across applicable states
• Track filing deadlines, renewals, registrations, and other compliance obligations
• Research new regulatory requirements as the organization expands into additional states
• Partner with internal leadership and outside advisors to ensure timely and accurate compliance

Inventory & Operational Accounting

• Assist with inventory accounting, reconciliations, and reporting
• Support inventory-related journal entries and account analysis
• Partner with operational teams to investigate discrepancies and improve financial accuracy
• Identify opportunities to strengthen accounting processes and internal controls

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field required
• 3+ years of progressive accounting experience preferred
• Strong general ledger and month-end close experience
• Experience with journal entries and account reconciliations
• Working knowledge of accounts payable, accounts receivable, invoicing, and financial reporting
• Strong research and problem-solving abilities
• Detail-oriented with the ability to manage multiple deadlines and priorities
• Comfortable learning new regulatory and compliance requirements
• Self-starter who can work independently and take ownership of responsibilities

Preferred Background

• Manufacturing, distribution, warehousing, logistics, or service industry experience
• Inventory accounting experience is a strong plus but not required
• Exposure to multi-state business operations or regulatory compliance
• Experience with Secretary of State filings, nexus requirements, Department of Labor matters, or registered agents is a plus but not required
• Experience working within a small to mid-sized organization where accounting professionals wear multiple hats
